AMAZING BERNIE (3) had a bit on his rivals last time with an impressive 11 lengths win over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Should park just off the speed. Expecting a bold showing. WORK HARD (2) had been in sparkling form winning two races on end but missed the frame most recently when fourth over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record at this circuit. Among the leading chances. ARMANDO R (6) failed to threaten when fresh from a lay-off last time out, beaten 13 lengths into fifth over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Distance specialist with nine wins and 12 minor placings from 31 runs and is sure to be thereabouts. AZTEC (5) was safely held when second last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 4 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Worth another chance.
